on the seeds and green capsules: it is an extremely rare British 

 insect. 



Berberis vulgaris. Barberry. 



Also an abundant garden plant. Speyer enumerates Ennomos 

 illunaria, lunaria, and illustraria, Anticlea berberata, Triphosa certata, 

 and Eupithecia exiguata as feeding on it. According to the observa- 

 tions of Tischer (in Treitschke) the larva of Gelechia MoufFetella 

 (though most partial to honeysuckle) also feeds on barberry ; and, 

 according to Geyer's observations (also in Treitschke), the larva 

 of the conspicuous Gelechia Scopolella, not yet detected in this 

 country, feeds in June, between flatly united leaves of this plant. 



NympJuea alba. White Water-Lily. 

 Nuphar lutea. Yellow Water-Lily. 



With the exception of the aquatic larva of Hydrocampa Potamo- 

 gata and Nymphaeata, no Lepidopterous larvae are known to feed on 

 these ornaments of our ponds and streams. 



Papaver Rhmas. Common Red Poppy. 



We are still unacquainted with any Lepidopterous larva attached to 

 this plant; yet it seems probable there must be some which have 

 escaped our observation. 



Glaucium luteum. Yellow Horned Poppy. 



The same remark applies to this as to the preceding ; but we are 

 so little acquainted with the productions of our maritime plants, that 

 the non-observance of a Glaucium-eater is less remarkable. 



Chelidonium majus. Celandine. 



Speyer represents the polyphagous Euplexia lucipara as feed- 

 ing upon this plant. 



Corydalis claviculata. White Climbing Fumitory. 

 Fumaria capreolata. Rampant Fumitory. 

 Fumaria officinalis. Common Fumitory. 



No Lepidopterous larvae have been hitherto observed on these 

 plants. 



The Crucifeile. 

 As the larva of Plutelld cruciferarum feeds apparently indifferently
